There is no ethical high ground here. There is only creative output bent towards the artificial framework of capitalism. One could argue there is some weak ethical underpinning in "In the absence of higher moral values, one should simply adhere to previous agreements and laws..." Except previous agreements and laws give basically no guidance on the topic of "Can I use this data to train a machine to make more data?" Especially if the thusly-created data can't even, itself, be copyrighted. It's a novel use-case unpredicted by the existing copyright framework.
